What Is A Person Responsible For?

Question: How do bad thoughts influence life, and why is a person responsible for them if they are sent to him from the Creator [1]?

Answer: A person is not responsible for anything, except one thing: realizing the opportunity that he has been given to become independent and to ascendĀ to spirituality.

Only in this does he haveĀ freedom of choice [2]. Everywhere else, he is completely subject to the forces from above that influence him. He carries out their instructions without understanding that he is a puppet on a string.

Question: Do the prayers of the parents influence the destiny of the child? Are children responsible for what their parents have done?

Answer: No one is responsible for anything. A person is not even responsible for what he did yesterday. All the more so, he is not responsible for the deeds of others. This is all irrelevant to a person. He must only turn to the Creator and discern things in relation to Him because he is completely managed by the Creator.

I do not hide these things so people will get a bit of the feeling that the wisdom of Kabbalah [3] speaks sharply, directly, and openly.
